(CNN) – In yet another sign that Democrats are putting the contentious and hard-fought primary season behind them, former President Bill Clinton will campaign with Sen. Barack Obama for the first time in Florida on Wednesday, according to Matt McKenna of the Clinton Foundation.

Sen. Hillary Clinton will not attend the event but did recently campaign with Obama in Florida, a crucial battleground state that CNN currently considers a toss-up.

The Clintons also recently campaigned together with Sen. Joe Biden and Biden’s wife, Jill, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where both Joe Biden and Sen. Clinton have roots.

Obama met personally with former President Clinton in September at Clinton’s Harlem offices. Then, Clinton predicted that Obama would win in November “pretty handily.”

THE END OF AMERICA by OBAMA

Bill Clinton may campaign with the liar but he'll vote for John McCain.
Clinton may not be ready to give up his party BUT you can be sure he is not ready to allow his country to be ruined and flushed down the toilet by the idiot obama.

CAN OBAMA ACCEPT THE PRESIDENTS JOB IF HE IS NOT A CITIZEN OF THE U.S.A. HIS GRANDMOTHER WHO IS IN KENYA CLAIMS THAT HE WAS BORN IN KENYA. HIS HALF SISTER CLAIMS HE WAS BORN IN HAWAII. WHO IS FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS?

HIS MOTHER LEFT THE U.S.A. WHEN SHE MOVED BACK TO KENYA AT THE AGE OF 14. THAT WAS WHEN OBAMA WAS BORN. SHE GAVE UP HER CITIZENSHIP AT THAT TIME. HOW CAN OBAMA HAVE DUEL CITIZENSHIP PAPERS. HERE IS A CASE NUMBER FOR YOU TO CHECK ON #08-cv-04083 CHECK HIS CITIZENSHIP PAPERS

Its so hard to let the reality dawn on me that Hillary will not be President in 2009,i will always be a strong supporter of Bill and Hillary all the way,although am black am still black,and of course i reside in Africa,there is this chemistry missing in accepting Obama as President.And if he becomes president,i just dont buy it

Good. We need to be together as Democrats/Republicans/Independents so we can get this country back to the people; so people vote and in such #s that will be a mandate to all that we want our country back working for everyone.

Bill Clinton even with your flaus & little willy you are more cenered with policey than Obama can or ever will be! If this race was race over gender the Democratic party has hurt its self, by going to far to the left in respect to Obama and his position compared even to former "John F. Kennedy" was even more centered than Obama.

To the Obama supporters and all they may say and think Osama’s Presidency would be so Frikin Liberal that the laws of the land would become so loose that his choices and ideas would destroy society and the fabrics there with, and will make it a free for all or an out right sod-am and Gomorrah. All of which choosing Obama would be wrong for all and will be answerable to God in his second coming and those whom choose him are beholder to there choice in this election!!!

THIS IS NOT BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK MAN OR WHITE!!!

Not a sermon just something to think about.

Clintons Do Not Like Osama--Period

Ask anybody who is close to Hillary and they'll tell you she despises Barack.

Barack did nothing for her-gave her nothing but disdain-

Hillary supporters can pay this sexist back on Nov.4

Glad to hear that. It is about time and been long overdue. This year was the season for Sen. Obama to finally break all racial divides in this nation. Bill Clinton had a lot of savy economic advisers and Sen. Obama should tap into some of that talent...

I guess that means we can believe the polls. He must feel there's no way Obama can lose at this point.

I'm just another Hillary supporter voting for Sarah Palin on Nov 4.

Obama tried to destroy Hillary and succeeded-it's time for women to take Barack Hussein Obama DOWN.

Is Clinton finally going to mention Obama's name? Clinton is fully aware of what the Obama stands for and for the dirty tricks (racism, etc..) that they used against Hillary. Do you really think that the Clinton's like and support Obama?
